Engineered for Safety
Yale is renowned for offering safe lift trucks which are flexible and adaptable for many different applications and tasks. The ability to design and manufacture units for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
In their latest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts various controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make certain that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics in the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge array of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on IC engine truck units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the liquid propane gas tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the natural handling position of the operator making the tank easier to change.
